a silly question

Hi, folks.
I’ve been recently introduced to Ph.D. comics and in there – and, recently, in someone’s comment here – people keep making reference to “quals.”

Are they the same thing? If not, what’s “quals”? If I get into a [...]

Creating a CV

I’m in a bit of a bind, and I’m sure I cannot be the only graduate student with these questions. I’m finishing my PhD in about 6 months, so I’m starting to seriously look for work. I’m having issues creating my CV.

Financial Aid @ Admissions & Awards

Has anyone ever had any luck getting through to them on the phone? I’m asking because I’m in Mississauga and can’t get downtown for a couple of days, and have spent quite a bit of time attempting to reach them. I get put on hold and ten minutes later, I’m hung up on. I’d rather [...]
